Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

Holy shit, that's amazing.

HAH, I just found a perfect metacritic score I gave to counteract game critics and people giving 0s. I guess I could had been a polygon writer after-all.

So apparently Wil Wheaton said [url=https://www.twitter.com/wilw/status/553722690003943424]something stupid[/url] again.

"It's harassment when you do it, it's righteous when I do it" That's basically the mentality of far too many of these people. This has been going on since fucking August and we still can't get any member of the media to treat the abuse or harrasement of pro GG voices like they're people too. Fuck i'm sick of this world sometimes.

Does this retard even know how steam works? He also goes on describing the SJW group as "namely comprised of women and minorities" Seriously, what the fuck is going on in that guy's head[/QUOTE] Yes, just completely disregard #notyourshield when you say that. They're all just tokens aren't they Ian? No one who sides with us is "real" so why should your supporters be any different? Also, Steam enabling harassment? :v:

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46897111] Also, Steam enabling harassment? :v:[/QUOTE] ever since i enabled "harassment beta" on my steam account i havent had more fun playing video games and being a misogynistic shitlord pissbaby cis white male in my entire life

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46897111]Also, Steam enabling harassment? :v:[/QUOTE] steam enables harassment by allowing gamers to exist, duh

hijacking #CES2015 was a sucess [url]http://blogs.wsj.com/cmo/2015/01/09/what-were-the-most-tweeted-phrases-and-topics-at-ces/[/url] [QUOTE]The most used hashtag: Intel, months after stepping into the “GamerGate” controversy regarding women in video games, at CES pledged to commit $300 million over the next five years to increase the representation of women and minorities in its workforce. The diversity initiative generated a lot of buzz online — the word “Intel” appeared more than 15,000 times in tweets tagged #CES2015. The hashtag #Gamergate appeared 30,422 times in tweets tagged #CES2015, more so than any other hashtag.[/QUOTE]

maybe if we're lucky people will actually look at the content of those tweets and realize what intel is supporting by supporting FF and IDGA

How does the controversy regard women in video games We don't care about that, we think Games Journalism is complete shit and is ruining the industry. Hell we hate FemFreq not because they're feminist but because they preach misogyny at everything and have great influence in the industry. Does the point that they constantly say retarded things fly by people's heads? God damn these people are good at convincing people of their narrative.

[QUOTE=SelfishDragon;46899897]God damn these people are good at convincing people of their narrative.[/QUOTE] It's more that people are retarded and feel the need to agree with everything that seems politically correct at first glance without looking any further into it.

[QUOTE=SelfishDragon;46899897]God damn these people are good at convincing people of their narrative.[/QUOTE] It's the [URL="http://urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Why+do+you+hate+America%3F"]"why do you hate america?"[/URL] technique If you claim to strive for a commendable goal, any criticism of any kind you receive can easily be dismissed as you adversary's intention to undermine your effort to achieve it. Add in that they control the gaming press and the wiki, you have the perfect recipe for painting your enemy as the devil incarnate So that's why according to them, when we say femfreq's videos are dishonest and factually inaccurate we actually hate women and equality

Just got news, a gamergater has been shot and killed. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Wootman;46903148]Just got news, a gamergater has been shot and killed.[/QUOTE] Wait what? Because he was a gamergater or something else?
